This generously proportioned ground-floor apartment occupies part of a handsome Victorian stone building close to Ilkley town centre and Ilkley Moor. High ceilings, original plaster detailing and an Adam-style fireplace give the principal reception an elegant, characterful feel, while two large double bedrooms and a fitted kitchen create comfortable, well-sized accommodation for everyday living.
Practical features include off-street shared parking, communal maintained grounds and easy walking access to shops, schools and rail links. The apartment measures about 960 sq ft and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing installed post-2002. Service charge and communal maintenance cover shared upkeep of the building and grounds.
Important—this is a short-lease property. Only around one year remains on the lease, which is likely to restrict mortgage availability and would require lease extension or specialist lending. There is an annual ground rent of £10 and a current service charge of about £1,550.39. The EPC is E, so some energy upgrades may be needed to improve running costs and comfort.
Suitable for downsizers or buyers seeking period character close to green space, the apartment also offers scope for sympathetic modernisation. Buyers should obtain legal and mortgage advice about the lease position before proceeding and allow for potential refurbishment and energy-efficiency work.
